Abstract

This research reviews the concept of Visual Literacy which is the critical base for performing convergence-style educational program of fine arts. The Visual Literacy means the ability to understand and properly deal with the visual information given to the agent such as the literacy to the written language. It is beyond doubt that the necessity of the Visual Literacy is raised because there is different visual information through new media for the entire life of young generation. Therefore, the Visual Literacy is the base for performing convergence-style education when it comes to performing convergence-style educational programs. It covers the communication abilities to utilize new media and exchange visual information one another.

본 연구는 미술교과를 중심으로 하는 융복합 교육 프로그램을 수행함에 있어 중요한 기반이 되는 시각적 문해력(Visual Literacy)의 개념을 검토한다. 시각적 문해력은 문자에 대한 문해력이 그러하듯이 주체에게 시각적으로 주어지는 정보를 이해하고 적절하게 다룰 수 있는 능력을 의미한다. 청소년층의 생활전반에서 뉴미디어를 통해 접하는 시각정보가 많고 다양한 만큼 시각적 문해력의 필요성이 대두되는 것은 당연하다. 따라서 뉴미디어를 적극 활용하는 융합교육 프로그램의 수행에서 시각적 문해력은 프로그램의 수행을 위한 기반이 된다. 여기에는 뉴미디어를 사용하여 시각정보를 교환하며 서로 소통하는 능력도 포함된다.
